Storm Watch and Frozen Pipes

It's cold outside. For Seattle, at least. It's cold enough that the pipes to the clothes washer in the garage froze. I had to heat them up to get the bedsheets washed, and I've given up trying to do any other laundry today. In addition, there's a big storm watch on. Apparently conditions are perfect for a massive snowstorm, maybe the worst in about eight years, to hit the area. The prediction as of this moment is 2-6 inches in our area. That would pretty much shut down the town until it could melt. But the prediction calls for the snow to turn to rain which will stick around as sluch because it's so cold. Lovely.

If we're lucky, the snow will bypass the lowlands and hit the mountains instead. The skiers would like that.
